PFPX - oversensitive to hardware changes

This is a warning to anyone still running PFPX. Yesterday I cloned my SSD for a larger one on which PFPX is installed.

The laptop booted up fine and all seemed well. Until I launched PFPX. I was presented with a registration screen to enter my product key. ☹️

WHAT??? I'd only swapped out the SSD for a larger one. No change to any other hardware. This seems total overkill.

So I searched all my mail from FlightSimSoft and it included one with all the registrations. TopCat and annual subscriptions for their services,

But crucially not the one for PFPX. This I guess is because I bought it from PC Aviator, not direct from FSS.

Fortunately their website is still running and on finding my order I was able to retrieve my product key.

But had PC Aviator not still been running I would have been stuffed!

So if you change your SSD make sure you have your product key available.
